22/ “Philip says he “looked ahead 10 to 20 years and saw ourselves older and possibly without family, with diminishing ability to travel, in a country where I didn’t see whites, let alone Jews, being a priority.”
32/ Israel’s education ministry: “Such integration may harm the cultural and family roots of the students and create a unification of cultures in a manner that would erase and blur the identity and the community from which they come.”
Dehumanizing propaganda operates by constructing a rigid divide between "us" and "them."
2/ As humans, we do not instinctively recognize those close to us - we rely on learned cues and social conditioning. We ask ourselves: Does this person look like me? Act like me? Play like me? Eat like me? Pray like me? Here lies the opportunity for manipulation.
3/ Propaganda exploits this by depicting the "other" as subhuman, illustrating people as rats, vermin, flesh-eating grubs, distorting perception and fostering emotional distance.
Something about No Other Land and the attention it's receiving has been bothering me. Naturally, the liberal establishment and Hollywood champion Israeli/ Palestinian "cooperation" against "the occupation," conveniently avoiding any confrontation with Zionism itself
1/
2/ as a genocidal, white supremacist ideology. The two-sideism/ normalizing approach permeates through No Other Land - from its title and the friendship it highlights.
3/ Meanwhile, films which promote the Palestinian perspective alone, ie the voices of the oppressed - eg From Ground Zero and Al Jazeera’s The Night Won’t End - offer a much braver and more incisive perspective and are more deserved of recognition.
On the false solidarity of American Jewish liberals
A short thread 🧵 1/
American Jewish liberals and their allies reinforce Zionist propaganda through the embrace of the "Jewish supremacy" antisemitic fallacy.
2/ By positioning Jews and Judaism within frameworks of oppression, these narratives not only uphold the myth of Israel as a "Jewish state," thus promoting and legitimizing its colonial narrative, but also
3/ fuel global antisemitism by merging Jewish identity with Zionist aggression and genocide. This dynamic ensures selective victimhood and white privilege while providing superficial validation for American Jews
On @elonmusk Nazi salute, @JGreenblattADL and the ZIonism-antisemitism connection.
A thread 🧵 1/
Once upon a time a self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist,” Musk found himself at odds with Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Zionist lobby group
2/ and self-styled “anti-hate organisation” the Anti-Defamation League (@ADL), after airing his views in an X space with far-right antisemites and conspiracy theorists Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes, among others.
3/ This sparked a backlash from advertisers, which Musk dismissed with typical bravado.
Yet this kerfuffle appears to have marked his 'come-to-Zionism' moment.
On @PiersUncensored and the normalization of genocide.
A thread 🧵 1/
Since October 7, 2023, white settler propaganda has ramped up through two insidious tactics targeting western audiences.
2/ The first rationalizes Israel’s brutality under the pretext of “self-defense” of a supposed “civilized” western democracy in a barbaric region, exploiting the conflation of Zionism with Judaism and dehumanizing all Palestinian people as “terrorists” to legitimize the ongoing
3/ genocide in Palestine and suppress dissent in the United States. The second aims to normalize genocide and Zionism, making mass violence more acceptable by breaking societal taboos, delegitimizing and attempting to destroy international law and weaving them seamlessly into
Here's a thread of hit pieces I've written over the years, targeting the full range of Zionist apologists, from the "liberal" propagandist to the overtly genocidal.
